HOLDER AND TURNER FOR STRIPPING-MACHINES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 488,653, dated December27, 1892.

Application filed May 14, 1892. Serial No. 433,004. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HENRY J. GOSLING, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented a certainnew and useful Improved Holder and Turner for Stripping-Machines, ofwhich the following is a description, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, making part hereof.

The nature of my invention will appear from the following specificationand claim.

In the drawings:Figure 1,isaperspective View of the holder and a fileblank tine set therein. Fig. 2, a View of the same partly in elevationand partly in section. Fig. 3, a detached, broken, perspective view ofmy holder with a file blank in its seat.

A and B are two flanges connected by anarrow neck 0. Flange B isprovided with a rigid handle D. E is a saddle sustaining the neck 0between flanges A and B. F a pin rigidly connected with said saddle andprojecting downward into base block G. The seat of the saddle conformsto the rounded neck 0. Block G envelops and is set rigidly upright uponrod M by the set screw M. The file blank to be stripped (I) here shownis triangular in cross section, and when one of its edges is directlybeneath the body of the blank a horizontal fiat surface is presentedabove.

N is a block, provided on its upper face with a depression, V shaped incross section, adapted to receive one of the edges of the file blankreferred to. Forming part of this'block N and back of the saiddepression is the bolster N, against which latter the end of the blankimpinges. The block N with its depression above referred to (whether Vshaped or not, according to the shape of the blank to be treated) form asaddle for that end of the blank to hold the fiat surface upward whilethe stripper K is operating. This block N is also secured to rod M asblock G is. The set screws M M enable these blocks to be arranged atvarying distances apart to accord with the length of the blank to betreated.

I is the blank and J isthe tang thereof, the latter setting in coneshaped recess J ,as shown in Fig. 2.

K is the strippenwhich, by mechanism well known in the arts andrequiring no description here, traverses to and fro on the upper surfaceof the blank to polish and clean the latter.

H is a set screw in flange A, which, as shown in Fig. 2, fastens thetine of the blank in place.

The operation of stripper K, which is armed beneath with a fiat file, orother rugged polishing agent, is well known in the arts, and requires nodescription here.

The operation of my invention is as follows:-The blank is set as shown;it is stripped by the traverse of the stripper and, when the latterreturns to its starting point, a third of a complete turn is given tohandle I.) thus presenting another face of the blank to the stripper tobe acted upon by it, and this operation is continued untilevery faceisstripped. When the operation is completed the operative parts will be inthe position shown in the drawings. Then set screw H is raised the endof the file taken off block N and the tang from recess J and the blankis removed to be subsequently treated as desired. 1. Flanges A and Bwith the narrow neck Oconstitute an annularly grooved block.

What I claim as new is:

A holder and turner for file blanks consisting of an annularly groovedand recessed block A B C; saddle E, to sustain the same, handle D toturn the said block, set screw H in the latter to fix one end of theblank to be stripped in the block, block N, to secure the other end ofthe file and rod M, all combined and operating substantially asdescribed.

In witness that the above is my invention I have hereunto set my hand.
